T.V. signals on computer?

Ok here goes.

Is there any way that one can receive mixed up T.V. signals on a computer?

I just did, and it totally creeped me out as I was just reading a couple threads related to the strange sounds seeming to come from the sky that so many have been hearing. I had only 2 tabs opened and nothing else on my comp at the time. I started hearing the stuff as I was reading about someone saying their kid said they were afraid of the moon. Will find that in a minute, just want to get that question out there first. Here's the post. www.abovetopsecret.com...&addstar=1&on=12147520#pid12147520

I don't understand what mean by the knocking one out on another website, but I didn't see Jumpin Jack Flash.

No one wants to hear about your masturbation habits, or what you 'experience' while doing so.

Sounds to be like you may have had a tabbed browser probably with a tab open on a site that played an annoying audio ad, you know, like ATS does. Sound like a possibility?

feel free to hit me with an OT stick, couldn't resist...

Wow man.. You are pretty messed up, Second post in a row.. Talk about a one track mind.

sorry, shock humour.

i'd say it was a British thing but Stern knows where I'm coming from

I wouldn't call it a shock as much as an embarrassment.

etaEllie I apologize that your thread was derailed. I honestly think you had an ad playing in the background though, so I hope that helps.

Lol right? Beavers likes beavers, and lighterside doesnt have one (a lighterside I mean, not a beaver!!)!

OP, are you sure that there was not a pop-Under window somewhere? I've had that happen where I've opened a non-malicious website, but it has had a popunder advert (sometimes they get thru, even ATS has had them until they were notified) and it will have embedded audio/video... you can look at your tabs till you're blue in the face and it wont appear obvious as it's a new window.

Infuriates me when a webpage has embedded audio, thaty you cant find... if thats what it is, that is...

Time and place friend. Judging from the OP's avatar and response of not knowing what he was talking about. I imagine the OP is probably a young woman, and thus, probably not appropriate.

As for the pop-up/pop-under I've been finding more and more that the audio ads I get are usually some embedded flash advert towards the bottom of a page that scrolls down 3-4 pages worth of content before I see it. This will happen when I have at least 6 tabs open, and of course no less.

Stupid internet.

Why would state it is a T.V. signal?
Did you also see something on the screen, or just hear a noise?
Also, did you get a phone call, or text seconds after you heard the sound?

I know that cell phones can interfere with sound amplifiers so that is one possible explanation.
It's common too.

I checked for that, no ads running. I had only two tabs and they were both on ATS, but there were no ads like that.

I know, off topic, but I didn't know that meant masturbating. LOL.

reply to post by Beavers


Well what about the Jumpin Jack Flash thing? Why did you ask if I saw that?

reply to post by Ha`la`tha


no pop ups or unders and nothing on my computer. I minimized the window and everything.

I heard what sounded like different television shows and commercials. I can show y'all, I should have done it first but I didn't have time at the moment. I will try to figure it out now. I got it on my camera.

reply to post by Ellie Sagan


because i know computers.

specifically networks.

i know, give the information provided, that what you've explained is physically impossible, therefore can't be a TV signal.

a film called 'jumping jack flash' made the same mistake once!

edit: yer man above is probably right, it was probably from a pop up.... eh lads?

reply to post by Beavers


Ok then, thanks for the use of your expertise. If that is so, then why would I be hearing it? If you don't want to answer until you see the vid, then feel free to wait til I post it. I am trying to figure out how to upload media here and then the trick will be to see if I can get it to thread! I'm such a tech fail, hehe.

lol, no worries

like others have said, it was probably a pop up in the back ground, that you missed, or even an advert on ATS that had sound and just played and ended, never to be heard again.

happens all the time, don't sweat

one thing it definitely isn't tho.... a tv signal x

Here is the link for the youtube vid. I could not for the life of me figure out how to upload it to ATS. I didn't want to do it with youtube, but there it is, long and boring, but shows what happened. I can't believe how long it freakin takes to upload a 2 minute vid to youtube! I've never done it before. I have 2 more vids of it, but this seemed to show it well enough.

For the record, I haven't had it happen again since that night.

I guess I can't show what was going on. I just realized that it showed my location in the video. I don't want that visible to the public.

I'm really starting to think it was a strange thing. There was one phrase repeated a lot and it sounded like a movie or game tagline. It said, "The war is over, but now it's time to take it all back." Does anyone know where this is from? It felt like I was (am) trying to decipher what Bumble Bee was saying. He used things from radio, movies, and t.v. to get his messages across. I sound stinkin' crazy now. Also, at the beginning of one of the vids I recorded of the incident, there are sounds that are like the sounds of something screeching or screaming sort of. I didn't notice that until I was later looking at the video.

I forgot to add that a lot of what was being heard was from what sounded like a show reviewing movies. There was an emphasis on fighting and violence, but also this one bit about the Matrix.
